Description
The integrable optics test accelerator (IOTA) at Fermilab was designed to study a nonlinear lattice based on the Danilov-Nagaitsev integrable potential which is formed by a special magnet and the special linear lattice configuration. At large fields of the nonlinear magnet, the small amplitude vertical tune crosses the integer resonance. At this point, the beam splits vertically into two separate beamlets whose separation distance depends on the nonlinear strength. This phenomenon is difficult to study with traditional beam position monitors, so studies of this regime relied on the IOTA synchrotron light imaging system. The 2-D transverse profiles of the beam were measured in several locations across the ring. Using these profiles and accurate knowledge of the rest of the accelerator lattice, the properties of the Danilov-Nagaitsev integrable system were derived.
